One of the important questions regarding this site concerns the way in which small-scale groups joined their forces for construction work, creating a place that clearly is strongly connected to their worldview.<br \/>\n20 years of excavation have revealed some clues. The distribution of elements of G\u00f6bekli\u00b4s iconography evidences a catchment area of about 200km around the site as the homeland of these groups. A close look at the massive amount of filling in G\u00f6bekli\u00b4s enclosures reveals that these are not dealing sterile sediments. The material used to intentionally backfill the buildings at the end of their use-lifes consists of limestone rubble from the quarries nearby, flint artefacts and immense amounts of animal bones smashed to get to the marrow, clearly the remains of meals. With traces of settlement absent, for G\u00f6bekli Tepe this readily leads to the idea of large, ritualized feasts as a mode to gather workforces and ensure cooperation. The present contribution will explore the likeliness and possible consequences of this scenario.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>See you there!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Friday, September 2nd, 2016, 9.15, Faculty of History, Room 331<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upcoming: Between 31st August and 4th September, the 22nd Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologistzs will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania.
